need help with strange transmission problem
It is hard to explain so here goes. Today on my way home, I stopped at a stop sign. When I accelerated everything was fine until I got to 35mph. All of a sudden it feels like it downshifts hard and the brakes are applied. I let off the gas and at about 25mph it feels like it downshifts again. I have to slow down to 15mph and it goes back to normal. If i accelerate again it will go up to 35 then does it again. If I try to accelerate after it does this the turbo spools up and the engine tries but can not speed up. It seems like the TC is locked up the whole time. I put it in 2nd gear and drove the rest of the way home at 25mph. When I got out of the truck I could smell tranny fluid. Please help me.

this is a 2001 f350 by the way. The only mods I have done are tymar intake, wicked wheel and bellowed up pipes. The OD light is not flashing.

being an 01, i'd put $$$ on, that the diode took a dump..(inside trans). Google 7.3 tranny diode, you'll see what im talk'n about....unfortunately, only way to repair is a new/rebuilt trans.

To remove the transmission do I need to remove the downpipe? should I remove the transfer case or take it out together? I dont have a tranny jack. I am going to call around an see if I can find a rental. Any ideas if I cant find one? One more question. Do the tc bolts only line up one way? On my 74 dodge the tc bolts only line up one way to the flexplate.
